| AHEPA Chapter 61 President George Giovanis kicks off the 2025 Ernie Orphanos Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament with the traditional Ouzo toast as golfers gather around. |
The 16th Annual Ernie Orphanos Memorial Golf Classic was held on Sunday, August 24, 2025, concluding the most successful tournament in the Reading AHEPA chapter's history.
Congratulations to the 2025 tournament foursome champions – Nick Lambros, Ryan McCallum, Drew Cammarano and Steve Zervanos.
We were truly blessed with beautiful weather, and all participants had a most enjoyable day of golf, fellowship, good food, and an all-time high tournament net profit.
In addition to the 86 golf participants, 55 individual/business sponsors and guests helped bring in $21,415 income with total expenses of $7,549, resulting in a record high net profit of $13,865.
This is great news. AHEPA once again was able to raise the necessary funds for the annual scholarship program and other worthy AHEPA charities in our Berks community and beyond!
The proceeds from this annual event provide scholarships for our Berks County youth to continue their education following high school graduation. These young men and women have gone on to successful academic and professional careers that give back to our same community that supported them with these AHEPA scholarships.
